Satellite A500-149: how to turn the lights on the keyboard?

Hello

I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500 149.
How do I activate the keyboard light? I try FN + Z and nothing... no lights on the keyboard!
Can anyone help?
I need to install anything to make it work?

Toshiba Satellite A500-149 part number: PSAM3E-02K00DEP

Hello

You must press the button on / off LED, which is part of the multimedia buttons of Toshiba. This button must be placed in the line where the other buttons such as play, pause, volume up and down are placed.

So the light must be turned on. Then, you can set the backlight on the keyboard to Auto.
Then the keyboard would hit any key.
When you use FN + (keyboard sign (Z)), keyboard backlight turns off / Alternatively

  • Satellite P750-13F - how to activate the keyboard backlit on Windows 8

    Hello!

    Today, I installed Windows 8 premium on my P750-13F, which features a backlit keyboard. In order to upgrade to Windows 8 I had to uninstall certain Toshiba drivers and other programs.

    Now, I have fully functional Windows 8, but I don't know how to access the functions of FN key (screen brightness, wifi power button, volume up/down).

    Now that the FN key is innoperative function that I miss the most is that for illumination of the keyboard, because I can still do everything else by other methods (I mean volume up/down, brightness etc) but I don't know how to illuminate the keyboard now.

    I tried to install the Toshiba hardware configuration utility, but it will not install with Windows 8. I like so much if the FN key remains innoperative (although that would be nice if it would not) but what I really want to be able to change the lighting of the keypad.

    I'll be very grateful for any ideas.

    Up to Toshiba doesn t offer Win8 tools and utility there is nothing you can do about it. I hope that will happen very soon.
    So please be patient until the stuff of Win8 will be offered for download.

  • Satellite L350-24U: how to clean the keyboard after having poured orange juice

    Hello out there.
    I spilled my L350-24U with Orange juice.
    Now, I have 4 keys to self-retaining :-(

    Can someone tell me how to clean the keyboard without damaging the laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, it's still a stupid situation
    Usually you can remove the keyboard of the laptop very easily.
    The keyboard is fixed with screws hidden under thin plastic cover near the line of F1 - F12 key.

    If you would remove plastic this cover then you would be able to remove the screws as well. Then you could lift the keyboard carefully and could disconnect the flat cable of the keyboard and the motherboard.

    Notes; two small latches on both sides of the connector must be moved in order to disconnect the cable.

    Then you could remove the keyboard and could clean it with a damp lint.
    PS: the caps can be removed too.
    But be very careful. You must raise the CAP to get it for free.

    There are many videos on youtube...

    Hello

    I use a satellite A500-19n.
    Is it possible to install the original drivers (nvidia - mobile) on my laptop?
    When I try to install them I have always an error message "no driver found for your hardware"...
    There's a Geforce GT 230 M in my computer, so I wonder why this happens...

    I want to install the original drivers because they are generally better than the standartdrivers...
    Thanks ;)

    Hello

    I advise you to try to install the Nvidia drivers, you must use the pre-tested driver Toshiba as it has heat protection. But anyway if you want to install it, step this link

  • Satellite P300 - 271 - how to replace the keyboard?

    Hello
    I have a Satellite P300 - 271 and there are a few damaged keys. I bought a new keyboard for this laptop.

    Is there a caraa how do I replace the keyboard?

    Greets, Benjamin

    Hi Benjamin,

    As far as I know that these manuals are not for the public. Technicians certified for laptop only can download these manuals. You can download the normal user manual that came with your laptop.

    A friend told me to replace the keyboard to remove the keyboard first, support but it s fixed by screws on the underside. After that, you can remove the keyboard but be careful with the cable.

    Disassembly of the laptop is a little tricky. If you n t have experience with that you should ask a technician for laptop help.

    I need to replace the card key of my Satellite A10-S100.

    What are the steps I should follow? I have to unscrew all the screws in the back?

    Hi mate,

    You never exchanged a keyboard or any other part of the equipment of a laptop? Well, maybe you should ask a technician for laptop help

    I m not Satellite A10 owner but normally you remove the keyboard first (between the keyboard and display) bracket. Under the keyboard support, you will find a few screw now the keyboard. Remove them and then you can lift the keyboard but be Ume with the cable on the underside of the keyboard.

    Good luck! :)

    Hi all

    I use Satelite A500-02J, but when I plug in external speakers, my internal speakers still work, how do I disable it?

    Hey,.

    Normally the internal speakers will be cut automatically if you connect headphones or external speakers. At least on my laptop it of the case

    Hmm I put t know what OS you have installed, but you should check the audio settings. Generally you can cut off the internal speakers if you have connected an external.

    Alternative, I recommend that you update the audio driver. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

    I hope that helps! :)
